Marko Arnautovic (West Ham) PUMA Future 18.1

PUMA athletes switched into their new "Frenzy Pack" colourways this week as the Future and One series were updated with blue and green designs. West Ham's Marko Arnautovic chalked up an assist as his pass saw Javier Hernandez net an equaliser in a 1-1 draw against Chelsea on Sunday.

Cristiano Ronaldo Jr (Real Madrid) Nike Mercurial Superfly 360

Ronaldo Jr got to have a kick around with his old man after the Madrid derby at the Bernabeu. The youngster was wearing a custom black and gold version of the Nike Mercurial Superfly 360, although his dad looks to have bought them a couple of sizes too big for him to grow in to, while saving a few quid in the process.

Paolo Fernandes (NAC Breda) adidas X 17+

The X 17+ design from the "Deadly Strike" collection packs the biggest on-pitch punch. The bright "Aero Green" design wraps around the entire upper to remain on pitch through to the end of the domestic European season.

Kazaiah Stirling (Tottenham) Nike Hypervenom

Spurs youngster Kazaiah Stirling took things back this week as he laced up in the first generation Nike Hypervenom. That super-supple NikeSkin upper drew in a lot of players before it was replaced by the second-generation design. Stirling was wearing the "Shine Through" colourway from 2014.

Marcos Alvarez (Osnabrueck) Nike What The Mercurial

The second-generation 'What The Mercurial' has had a relatively low-key launch due to its blackout design, but the limited edition boot has still featured on pitch. Osnabrueck's Marcos Alvarez was sporting 1 of just 1998 pairs in circulation this week.
